Summary

This advisory provides a correction to the previous kernel updates,
which contained an error introduced in kernel-source-2.4.18 version
2.4.18-7. This error could result in a kernel "oops" under certain
circumstances.

For the stable distribution (woody) on the i386 architecture, this
problem has been fixed in kernel-image-2.4.18-i386bf version
2.4.18-5woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
kernel-source-2.4.20 version 2.4.20-7.

We recommend that you update your kernel packages.

If you are using the kernel installed by the installation system when
the "bf24" option is selected (for a 2.4.x kernel), you should install
the kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 package. If you installed a different
kernel-image package after installation, you should install the
corresponding 2.4.18-1 kernel. You may use the table below as a
guide.

| If "uname -r" shows: | Install this package:
| 2.4.18-bf2.4 | kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4
| 2.4.18-386 | kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386
